In April 2019 ClwydAlyn committed not to evict anyone into homelessness with a longer-term goal of zero evictions overall. 

One year on the landlord, based in North Wales, will outline the progress it has made  and the challenges it has faced in implementing its new approach.

This best practice session will cover:

• The culture shift and leadership that has been integral in moving resources to proactively focus on low level arrears and early intervention
• The need to understand the root cause of issues that lead to evictions and importance of developing a multi-agency approach
• How ClwydAlyn has invested in upfront support and tenancy sustainment services brining a major rethink of how cases are dealt with
• The results so far with an 80% drop in evictions
• How ClwydAlyn is now focused on tackling evictions in supported and temporary accommodation where the threshold for someone losing their home is much lower.

This session is ideal for anyone looking at reducing eviction or for organisations considering implementing a zero evictions into homelessness policy.

HQN has recognised from a number of our recent consultancy and service review exercises that some local authorities and housing associations are struggling in the current climate within the construction industry.

The following issues have been identified:

• Members are having difficulties in recruiting and retaining procurement and contract management staff
• Some members are running behind schedule in investment works
• Some report difficulty in getting long term contractor sustainability in contracts
• Skill shortages are reported in procurement, particularly in contract specification.

We are therefore holding a best practice group, free for members of our Asset Management Network, where we will be focusing on:

• Procurement - what works well, pitfalls and best practice
• Work stream assembly - ideas from team members
• Skill shortages and ideas to overcome them
• Potential for joint working and exchange of good ideas
• Joint ventures - do they work?
• Outsourcing or insourcing - what’s the experience?

Man-made global warming represents one of the greatest threats our species and planet have ever faced.

With over four million homes, the social housing sector’s responsibility AND opportunity to reduce emissions is enormous.

Our climate best practice groups are aimed at bringing social landlords together to discuss the key issues: decarbonisation; ecology; retrofitting; green energy, renewables; policy and strategy.

How can we hit net-zero? How can we protect our properties from the effects of a changing climate? How do we build homes fit for the future?

Our climate change best practice groups will probe all these vital topics, and more.
